the red head on a grey day

It finally rained today. =)


and I finally got my red head and a new crop. =)

retro mod and the chubby who saved my life

Mr Goh thought the weather was perfect for hot steaming ramen-so we went to cuppage's Ohsho Ramen again.

I wasn't really in the mood for food since I just survived a death defying stunt a couple of hours ago. See, I was walking to the HSBC bank and on my way back to the office, I slipped and was going to fall and break my back....

but Chubby saved me.

Chubby is my hp really.

I was holding it in my left hand and while I was slipping, I used it break my fall and somehow managed to bounce back miraculously. No butt touching the ground, no undies showing. I survived a back break. Couldn't imagine what would happen if I really did fall. Ground was super wet from the rain and I was wearing a dress!!

but Chubby was severely disfigured. Another 6 months before I'll say goodbye to this loyal friend. I should treat it with more care from now onwards.

Anyways, the moment Mr Goh met me, he couldn't stop laughing. Cos he said I looked like I walked out from the 1980s.



I need a haircut!

Lip my stockings!

Watching Lost in Translation, the 'Lip my stockings' scene never fails to make me laugh.

LIP MY STOCKINGS! LIP MY STOCKINGS!

Tokyo's night scene looks really exciting. the city is beautiful at night. Mr Goh has a tentative plan to go to japan together end of this year.... don't know if that's going to happen.

watching the show... you'll feel the attractiveness of the unknown, the untrodden roads, the stuff you don't understand, or comprehend.

you wish you know it all, but you don't really want to know it all.

I don't know what i'm talking about.

had cny lunch at Mr Goh's place today, two days after my dental appt. got my braces tightened again and the dentist added another bracket at the back of my tooth. VERY SUPER THE UNCOMFORTABLE AH! my tongue is perpetually touching the bracket, I feel like i've got tongue piercing done.

-AHHHHHHHH-

Told mr goh i can only eat sharks' fin, birds nest, and the like (things that no need to chew, just cut into smaller pieces and swallow kind).....

then his mum really made sharks fin wor. that was probably the only thing i could eat properly... i cannot even eat the sambal prawns (one of my favourites!)

I had to survive on tau hway on thursday. And yong tau hoo, with lotsa tau hoo on Friday. And panadols EXTRA. and trying to position my tongue in such a way it doesn't touch the bracket below when I go to bed. And I couldn't she-pick properly, felt that i'm lisp-ing. (which made me say Lip my stockings, too)

what to do... AI SWEE MAI MIA.

Mr Goh has also been commenting that i'm behaving like a mad woman these few days. He attributes it to my hairstyle, says he feels that long hair no longer suits me anymore since I AM NOT GIRLY AT ALL. The long hair was just a facade to lead him thinking i'm demure and girly and gentle BUT now he says he knows the truth about me.

So I rewarded him a few punches, giving much more force than I thought I could.

He now wants me to stop going for body combat classes.

Hurhurhur. Can you see my 'xiao lao shu'??

I feel like a boy

In a moment of bravery (or folly), I chopped off my hair (ok, mich's stylist did).

My body was stiff as rock. Palms were sweating and I gasped as the chunks of hair fell on my lap.

stylist: You very nervous ah?

I: YES! It's been TEN years since I have hair this short!

I haven't seen my nape (other than times when i tie my hair), nor feel the prickly short shrubs of hair there for years.

And short hair totally spoilt the rebondedness (and waste the money) I done (and spent) less than 3 months ago. That's something else to add on top of the heartache.



Mr Goh laughed at me when I told him I'm upset over my 'hair loss'. =_=

I truly feel for the girls in America's next top model who had to chop off their tresses now wor. It's like cutting off a limb. It's silly I know... but i really do feel the ache, ESPECIALLY after my shower..... GOT NO HAIR TO WRAP UP IN TOWEL!! (yes, I have a habit of wrapping my hair like a turban after i bathed)

But i guess it's a refreshing change.... I may even consider a shorter hairdo, when this one goes out of shape.

Lousy rhyme

another weekend passed, always so fast.
No time to catch up lost sleep,
lotsa shopping places to visit!
first up, went for a trim,
which left me with an ugly fringe.
next up, shopping shopping shopping
and got myself some bling-blings!
all cos the sales lady at goldheart is nice,
or i'd just say, "gotta think twice."
dropped by the singapore art museum,
to catch Fiction@Love
not allowed to take pictures,
but i took one nonetheless!

white fluffy horny beast
in a room full of red dots
to symbolise love or killing?
i couldn't settle on my thoughts.
my stomach started to make noise,
so we left before the mural light show
headed to our fav liang seah joint
whose business seemed to have been stolen by the new eateries
popping up along the street!
frog's legs

cereal prawn

and dou miao

and not forgetting my favourite fried you tiao!

and sunday dinner was XO crab beehoon
where there was a very long queue
the place was jam packed when we got there

so we had some rojak to share

and fried baby octopus,

before the main dish was served
(after a long wait of 45 min)

Tadaaaaa! Holland drive blk 40's speciality

but turned out not to be my cup of tea
true enough, the XO smell quite good
and the crab meat's sweet and juicy
but it wasn't as tasty as i thought it would,
if you're not too picky,
it's still decent food...
but soon, i'll want to have chilli crabs!
with deep fried buns to dab!
